GOLDEN
WATERMELON
Once,
in the days of yore, in Sambas, West Kalimantan, there lived a wealthy
merchant. The merchant had two sons. Muzakir named his eldest son, and the
youngest named Dermawan. However, both have properties and behavior are very different.
Muzakir very greedy and miserly. Every day it works just collecting money. He
never gave alms to the poor. Instead, Derwaaman very caring and always give
alms to the poor. He is not greedy with their wealth and money.
Before
death, the merchant divide his property equally to his two sons. He intends
that his children not to argue and mutual envy, especially if he had died
later. Once the property is divided, Muzakir and Dermawan living separately in
their homes. Muzakir stay at a luxurious house, as well as Dermaawan.
The
money part Muzakir put in a crate, then it locks. When a poor man came to his
house, he instead gave him alms, but a taunting laugh. In fact, he did not
hesitate to throw him out if the poor did not want to go away from home. One
day, an old woman dressed in rags shuffled Muzakir come to the house. Muzakir
in front of the house, the old woman begging for mercy, "Lord, have mercy
grandmother. Give alms grandmother! "At the sound of the old woman,
Muzakir out of the house and laugh at the old woman," Ha ha ha .... Hi
grandma ugly, you go from here! I'm sick of seeing your face wrinkled!
"Although shouted, the old woman did not want to leave. He also continues
to Muzakir pleaded, "But sir, the grandmother had two days of not eating, have
mercy on grandma." Seeing the old woman did not want to go, Muzakir told
people to throw his behest. Finally, the poor old woman went away without
receiving anything except humiliation.
The
poor people who already know the nature of the stingy Muzakir, including the
old woman said, no longer wants to Muzakir home. They then flock to the house
Dermaawan. In contrast to the nature Muzakir, Generous always welcome these
poor people are happy and friendly. They provided food and given the money
because he felt sorry to see them live poor and destitute. Almost every day the
poor people came to his house. Eventually possessions and money Generous
exhausted, so he could no longer cover the costs of maintaining a large home.
Eventually, he moved to a smaller house, and find a job to pay for his life.
His salary is not much, just enough to eat alone. Even so, he remains grateful
to the circumstances of his life.
Muzakir
guffaw Dermawan heard it thinks it's stupid. "That's what always serve the
poor. Surely you also poor, the base is stupid Dermawan it, "muttered the
Muzakir. In fact, Muzakir feel very proud of being able to buy a nicer house
and a vast coconut grove. Generous but ignored his brother's behavior.
One
day Generous release tired sitting in his yard. Suddenly a sparrow fell down
before him. The bird squeaking in pain, "Pity," said Dermawan.
"You hurt your wing is broken, huh?" Continued Dermawan talk with the
sparrows. The arrest of the bird, and then examined their wings. Sure enough,
the bird wing was broken. "Let me try to treat you," he said. After
the bird was treated and bandaged wings slowly.. He then took the rice. It
feeds the sparrows. The bird becomes tame and not afraid of him. A few days
later, the bird was flapping its wings can, and he finally flew.
The
next day aitu sparrows return visit Dermawan. There is a seed in its beak, and placed
in front of Dermawan. Dermawan see him smile. Seeds were normal seeds. Although
only regular seed, happy heart also received the gift of the bird. Seeds were
planted in the back of his house.
Three
days later the seed grows. As it turned out, is a tree that grows watermelons.
The plant was maintained well so that thrive. At first Dermawan expecting to
much fruit, because a lot of interest. "If the flowers are all into
pieces, I definitely full to eat watermelon and some I will give alms to the
poor," said Dermawan wishing. But oddly, after a few weeks of watermelon
that he maintained well, but among the many flowers that become fruits only
one. Although only one, the watermelon is increasingly large, much larger than
watermelons generally. Dermawan tempted to see the large watermelon. "This
looks very delicious watermelon. Mmm .... fragrant smell, "said Dermaawan
after kissing the watermelon.
A
few days later, it was time for watermelon was harvested. Dermawan picking the
watermelon. "Well ..., not playing this watermelon weighed," she
murmured breathlessly Dermawan lifted the watermelon. Then he brought the
watermelon into her house, and placed them on the table. Then he cracks with a
knife. After the split watermelon, how shocked Generous. "Wow, what objects
it anyway?" Asked Dermawan curious. He saw that watermelon contains yellow
sand piled on the table. He thought only ordinary sand. Having noticed in earnest,
it turns out that the sand is pure gold dust. Dermawan also danced for joy. He
did not realize that from the outside there is a bird house noticed his
behavior. After the bird squeak, she recently realized. Apparently, the bird is
a sparrow that never was helping. "Thank you! Thank you! "Cried
Dermaawan with delight. The bird was then flown without back again.
The
next day, Dermawan buy a nice house with a spacious yard once. All the poor
people who come to his house it feeds. Although every day and every moment of
the poor people came to his house, Dermawan will not become poor as before. The
money is very much her garden and overflow. Word spread around the village that
Dermaawan is no longer poor.
One
day, news of success Dermawan heard by his brother, Muzakir. Apparently this
makes Muzakir envy. He also wants to know the secret of the success of his
brother, then he went to the Generous. There Dermaawan to Muzakir honestly tell
about his story.
Knowing
this, immediately ordered Muzakir people
looking for a bird's broken leg or broken wings everywhere. But until a
week-long, not even a bird they found with such traits. Muzakir really upset
and could not sleep. He agonized over how to get a bird's broken wings. The
next morning, Muzakir got sense. muzakir ordered to capture a bird with a clamp
(chopsticks). Of course it becomes a broken bird wings. Muzakir then pretend
sorry for him and bandaged wounds on the bird's wing. After a few days, the
bird was recovered and released to fly. Soon, the bird was returned to Muzakir
to provide a seed. Muzakir really excited. In his heart, he always hoped to
quickly become rich, "Ah, I will soon be rich and wealth exceeds the
Benefactor," said Muzakir to myself not to be outdone.
Seed
bird granting Muzakir planted in the best place in the garden. Three days
later, the tree also grows watermelon lush and leafy. The fruit was just one,
it was bigger than watermelons Generous. A few months later, it was time
watermelon was harvested. Two Muzakir payday painstakingly brought it into the
house because of the weight. Muzakir already can not wait to see the trickle of
pure gold dust inside the watermelon. He immediately took a machete. He himself
would split the watermelon. Just cut off the melon, the fruit menyemburlah of
the black mud mixed with dirt to advance Muzakir. It smells like a rotting
carcass. Muzakir clothing and rugs in the room was not spared from being washed
mud and dirt like the porridge. Muzakir ran onto the highway while throwing up,
because it does not stand the smell of the mud. People who see it and smell
rotten laugh out loud, clapping with riuhnya. Dermaawan be very embarrassed
ridiculed by those around him.
